On Good Friday we remember how Jesus suffered and died on the cross- but we know:He is risen!
Because God loves you, he gave his Son, Jesus, to die on the cross
that Friday so that you and I can have eternal life with him in Heaven.
Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to
the Father except through me.” Accept God’s free gift of
eternal life by believing that Jesus received the punishment for your
sins by his death on the cross that Friday afternoon, and “that he was
raised [back to life] on the third day” after. Confess that
you’ve sinned and ask his forgiveness. Invite him into your life and ask
for God’s help to turn from your sin.
-Max Lucado
If you would like to invite Jesus in your life you can pray this simple prayer:
“Dear God,
I know I am a sinner, and I ask
for your forgiveness.
I believe you died for my sins and rose from the
dead.
I trust and follow you as my Lord and Savior.
Guide my life and
help me to do your will.
In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.”
You are loved!

"Happiness is dependent on what happens"...
So often many people have the mindset that they will be really happy and enjoy life when…
But God wants us to enjoy our lives now, not when!
Joy is so important:
Nehemiah 8:10 says the joy of the Lord is our strength.
And we need that strength every day.
"It’s important to understand what joy is. It’s not about entertaining
yourself all the time, getting your way all the time or laughing all
the time. Joy can be extreme hilarity or calm delight and everything in
between!"
-Joyce Meyer
But a good belly laugh is sometimes just what you need!
(I love this joyful picture of Brené Brown and Oprah.)
Proverbs 17:22 says
A happy heart is good medicine and a joyful mind causes healing.
A happy heart is good medicine and a joyful mind causes healing.
So today make your goal to rejoice in the Lord!
Have a happy heart and joyful mind
and enjoy your day!

Saturday afternoon I decided to take a long walk. The day was absolutely beautiful, the sun was shining and the colors of the nature were just beautiful;full of spring flowers. So I really enjoyed my walk enjoying the nature but beside that I was listening to Kris Vallotton podcast called plans&purposes and enjoyed listening to it so much that many times I was laughing out loud! ( how cares what the other people might have been thinking about me while hearing me laughing :D )
In the podcast Kris tells some amazing stories from his own life, but the end the teaching is very profound and it touched my heart deeply. So I would like to share you the main point and please take time to enjoy this podcast from Kris.You will like it! You can click here to listen to it.

Be blessed!

"Hosanna"
I see the king of glory
Coming on the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes
The whole earth shakes
Yeah
I see his love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing
The people sing
[Chorus]
Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest [x2]
I see a generation
Rising up to take their place
With selfless faith
With selfless faith
I see a near revival
Stirring as we pray and seek
We're on our knees
We're on our knees
[Chorus]
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks yours
Everything I am for Your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity
[Chorus x2]
Hosanna in the highest
Coming on the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes
The whole earth shakes
Yeah
I see his love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing
The people sing
[Chorus]
Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest [x2]
I see a generation
Rising up to take their place
With selfless faith
With selfless faith
I see a near revival
Stirring as we pray and seek
We're on our knees
We're on our knees
[Chorus]
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks yours
Everything I am for Your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity
[Chorus x2]
Hosanna in the highest
And may the Lord make your love to grow and overflow to each other and to everyone else,
just as our love does toward you.
-1 Thessalonians 3:12
LOVE IS THE CRUCIAL ELEMENT FOR OUR LIVES...
All of us need love and God loves you-and me and everyone!
But it is also important that as God loves us we must show and overflow love to each other.
"Love isn’t love till you give it away.”
So...let's say often the 3 sweet and very important words: I love you!
Because...we all need to hear it from others as well!
